Obamacare and Conservative Self-Delusion -- Daily Intelligencer
We see the same self-delusional ignorance here. Those who take the very few minutes to EDUCATE THEMSELVES rather than listening to fux, lushbo, beck, dredge and the lying Rs, they quickly learn that they can benefit from ObamaCare.
But, ultimately, its their choice to either EDUCATE THEMSELVES or just go on whining about something they know almost nothing about.
But looking even an inch beneath the surface reveals a public more frustrated and confused by Obamacare than opposed. Its specific elements poll well, though theyre the least known elements. Four out of ten Americans dont realize the law hasnt been struck down. A new poll out shows that the public, by a ten-point margin, trusts Democrats over Republicans on health-care issues. By a 5234 percent margin, they want Congress to implement or tinker with the law rather than repeal it. The nearly ubiquitous conservative belief that the public shares its passion for repealing Obamacare is a spate of self-delusion.
That overconfident delusion is the subject of Ramesh Ponnurus long National Review essay pleading with conservatives to stop believing their own bullshit. [Well worth reading, btw.]
